Hillary may have done the same thing. But I hope all of you who thought of trump as a vote against war feel like idiots

Winning the battle is never the problem, we can access any battle space and defeat any army. It's winning the peace afterwards that we haven't done since Germany.RaceBannon said:You can't assign reasonable motives to despots or terrorists. Just because it doesn't make sense for Assad doesn't mean he wouldn't do it. Saddam gassed the Kurds as we? were on the runway going home after kicking his ass. That didn't make sense.
For a despot power is all that matters and keeping it isn't a matter of international praise, its a matter of cowing the population.
It is also plausible for ISIS to do it.
And speaking of N Korea and Saddam, let's not go to war unless we are in it to win it. And to do that we become war criminals. So no war. -

Who benefits from an alleged chemical attack? Is it Assad? Two days prior to the attack, the Trump administration said the long term status of Assad will be decided by the Syrian people. McCain goes insane over the comment. Apparently McCain does not like it when the people get to decide who will lead their country. Two days later we have an alleged sarin attack with no real proof of who carried out the deed. Immediately calls are made for Assad to be removed.Intersectional_Dawg said:And yeah, it pisses me off when some tinpot dictator uses chemical weapons (banned for how many years?) on his own people, and the American regime has to be cajoled into condemning it. It pissed me off when Obama threw it to the house, and it's currently pissing me off that Trump would rather golf than face reality.
He overplayed his hand in getting in a dick measuring contest with the US. Dumb move.
Putin got a courtesy call and Trump let it fly.
Assad has been involved in chemical attacks since Obama drew his line in the sand...and then another and then another.
60 missiles ain't shit. The head Donald in charge could have dropped 600 if he wanted to.
